D are the side pieces. Where the edges of llanges b meet each other and where they meet edges d of side pieces, D, one of saidy meeting edges is preferably flanged to cover the other meeting edge, and both are provided with slotsd and pins e, so as to vary the size of the protector for different sizes of chimneys. These iianges E can be made integral with one section, or separate from both, and bolted thereto.

The corners C are to be placed upon the corners of the chimney, the side pieces in place, and the flanges E over the joints. The bolts are then tightened as the device is set.

This protector can be made of cast sheetiron, or any desired and suitable material. Being in sections, it is itted for chimneys of dit'- ferent sizes.
